Imagine that you are a mapmaker for the king and queen of Spain. You really want to sail across the sea to explore and chart the lands you would find there, but the king and queen value your service too much. They will not allow you to go. Many of your friends go. Some you never see again, but some come back with wonderful stories. One day, one of your friends returns with a description of the place he visited. He hands you the written description of the place and asks you to make a map of the place.

This lesson plan focus is for the Community Service AOI of the MYP years 9 and 10. The students will learn the skills of touch football and then have the responsibility of evaluating another team. The evaluation will consist of determining their strengths, weaknesess, and areas of improvement. The teams will practice their skills and try to improve their skills. The teams will then play a round robin tournament followed by a seeded double elimination tournament. Assessments will be from their evaluation of another team from watching video on Moodle and from teacher observation on the social construct of their actions.

Statistics show that voter turnout in the U.S. is low compared to other democratic nations. In addition studies have shown that there are a significant amount of votes that simply vote along party lines rather than on the issues. The goal of this unit is to make students aware of the main political issues in American politics and how to identify the different persuasive techniques politicians use in order to win votes. Being informed is one of the most important aspects of citizenship.

This module was designed to introduce students to the basics of data analysis. The focus is on two and three variable crosstabulations. Chi square and measures of association (Gamma, Cramer's V) are introduced and may or may not be used as the instructor wishes. The codebook includes some variables in both recoded and unrecoded form (age, education) so the instructor may teach recoding or not teach it. Variables have been created and added to the data set for religiosity and tolerance. There are two data sets--one that includes only the 2010 file and the other that includes data from sixyears (1975, 1982, 1989, 1996, and 2002/2004 combined to represent 2003, and 2010). Instructors can choose to focus on a detailed analysis of a single year or on change over time. The focus of the module is on developing and testing hypotheses. These materials will be useful in the classes that focus on social problems and in research methods and social statistics classes. Instructors are free to adapt the materials to their classes in any way they would like to.
